People hoping to shrink their waistlines may want to adopt three simple eating habits to help them get there, new research suggests. The study tracked nearly 60,000 people and discovered that how fast they ate and the timing of their evening meal and snacks appeared to be significant factors in whether they ended up obese（肥胖） or managed to lose weight.
Specifically, eating more slowly, avoiding snacks after dinner, and not eating within two hours before going to bed were all linked to weight loss.
The researchers, who published their findings in the journal BMJ Open, said they set out to analyze 搕he effects of changes in lifestyle habits on changes in obesity.
They examined data on thousands of people with diabetes in Japan who submitted claims and had regular health checkups between 2008 and 2013, when measurements of their body mass index（指标） and waist circumference（周长） were taken. During the checkups, the patients also reported their lifestyle habits, including their eating and sleeping patterns, as well as alcohol and tobacco use.
Among other questions, the people were asked to report the speed at which they ate -- categorized as fast, normal, or slow.
At the start of the study, 22,070 people -- nearly a third of the group -- admitted they normally gobbled down their food fast. More than 33,400 said they ate at 搉ormal speed. Only about 4,190 were self-professed slow eaters.
After taking into account other potential factors, the researchers found that those who said they ate at normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese than those who said they were fast eaters. The findings for slow eaters were even more striking: those who said they ate slowly were 42 percent less likely to be obese.
People who said they don抰 usually snack after dinner and those who avoiding eating within two hours of bedtime also tended to see some weight loss, the researchers found.
Overall reductions in waist circumference were small, but they were greater among the slow and normal speed eaters in the study.
Other habits the researchers looked at -- including whether people ate or skipped breakfast, and how much sleep they got -- did not appear to have a significant impact on weight.
24. The underlined part 搒hrink their waistlines in Paragraph 1 means_______________.
A. put up weight B. lose weight C. keep fit D. train the waist
25. According to the text, people who eat fast____________
A. probably increase more weight B. probably lose weight
C. probably eat less D. probably eat more
26. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Normal speed eaters are the mostly likely to be become fat.
B. Not eating anything within two hours of bedtime has little effect on people weight.
C. Whether people eat breakfast doesn抰 ffect people抯 weight at all.
D. How much sleep people get doesn抰 influence people抯 weight greatly.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How fast people eat is linked to weight loss B. Three Habits linked to weight loss
C. The cause of obesity D. How to lose weight
C
It is the golden decade,the time in your life when you are carefree and at your happiest.Never again will you enjoy the freedom and thrills of your 20s.A new study has now confirmed the fears of anyone approaching middle-age-people's 20s are their happiest years.
But,while researchers warn of lower life satisfaction for 40 years,there is hope.Their findings show that life does get better at 65,with happiness levels rising.Dr Ioana Ramia,from the University of New South Wales in Australia,said,"Satisfaction over life decreases from the early 20s,plateaus for about 40 years and then increases from about 65 up."
The aim of the research was to help develop policy to target specific age groups.Dr Ramia and her team found that happiness follows a U-curve with the highest levels experienced by those aged 15 to 24 and over 75.
Dr Ramia said,couples reported greatest satisfaction at life just before having their first child and a decrease from the child's first year of life through to when the child reaches six years old and starts school.She said,"It then stays low,but increases slightly,and is the highest around the age of 80.So that's something to look forward to."Her team's research shows a strong connection between the middle-age happiness state and employment opportunities and financial situations,when"money and...jobs matter most".
There was a greater emphasis on the quality of housing itself into middle age and beyond,along with neighborhood and community."At this time happiness is at its lowest and it only starts to increase when people start focusing on other things,like their free time,"said Dr Ramia.Safety was an important aspect of life satisfaction in every age group,while health appeared twice-in the mid-30s with the first awareness of physical fallibility or illness,and again later in life,she said.
Though her research had shed some light onto the drivers of happiness,Dr Ramia said the peak at young and old age remained poorly understood,with question marks around how satisfaction could remain constant across the major parameters described yet manage to increase with age overall. Defining what"satisfaction"was and how it was rated by subjects was also a challenge for future research,she said.
28. The early 20s are thought to be the happiest years possibly because people
A. enjoy their school life very much then
B. can enjoy more freedom during that period
C. usually have lots of friends in those years.
D. are going to have their own family in their life
29. The underlined word"plateaus"in Paragraph 2 probably means"__________
A. keeps a relatively stable level B. keeps changing
C. reaches a very low level D. turns more complex
30. Paragraphs 4-5 mainly focus on
A. the factors influencing people's satisfaction at life
B. the differences between the young and the old
C. the reasons why happiness follows a U-curve
D. the matters concerning the middle-aged group
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. We still have a poor understanding on the old.
B. The drivers of happiness need further research.
C. It's still a challenge to remain happy in our life.
D. People are hard to be satisfied because of their age.
D
We already know that a lack of sleep will actually prevent your brain from being able to make new memories. You end up feeling as though you抮e amnesiac.
A lack of sleep will lead to an increased development of a protein in the brain connected with Alzheimer抯 disease because it is during deep sleep at night that a system within the brain starts to wash away this protein. So if you抮e not getting enough sleep each and every night, more of that Alzheimer抯-related protein will build up. The more protein that builds up, the greater your risk of developing Alzheimer will be in later life.
What are the effects of the lack of sleep on the body? We know that a lack of sleep impacts your immune system(免疫系统).After just one night of four to five hours of sleep, there is a 70%reduction in immune cells called natural killer cells. And that’s the reason that short sleep predicts your risk for developing many forms of cancer.
In fact, the link between a lack of sleep and cancer is now so strong that recently the World Health Organization decided to classify any form of nighttime shift work as a probable cause of cancer. It is during deep sleep at night that your heart rate drops, your blood pressure goes down. If you抮e not getting enough sleep, your blood pressure rises. If you抮e getting six hours of sleep or less, you抣l have a 200%increased risk of having a deadly heart attack or stroke in your lifetime.
There is a global experiment that is performed on 1.6 billion people twice a year and it抯 called daylight savings time. And we know that in the spring, when we lose one hour of sleep, we see a 24%increase in heart attacks the following day.
Another question, perhaps, is what is the recycle rate of a human being? How long can we actually last without sleep before we start to see worsening in your brain function? And the answer seems to be about 16 hours of wakefulness. Once you get past 16 hours of being awake, that抯 when we start to see mental and physical damages in the body. We know that after you’ve been awake for 19 or 20 hours, your mental capacity(心智能力)is so damaged that you would be as slow as someone who was drunk. So if you were to ask me what is the recycle rate of a human being, it does seem to be about 16 hours and we need about eight hours of sleep to repair the damage of wakefulness.
32. The underlined word 揳mnesiac in Paragraph 1 probably means
A. sleepy B. tolerant C. relieved D. forgetful
33. According to the article, we can infer that_
A. the more you sleep, the more protein there will be
B. you抮e more likely to suffer heart attacks in the spring
C. deep sleep at night protects you from a harmful protein
D. you抣l develop many forms of cancer due to short sleep
34. When you抮e awake over 16 hours, .
A. your brain won抰 function in a proper way B. your brain needs at least 8 hours to recover
C. you must have drunk large amounts of wine D. you walk as slowly as the physically disabled
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Sleeping sickness kills B. Enough sleep counts
C. Less sleep causes cancer D. Sleep is necessary for man
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. ____36____ Imagine how you抎 feel if you were in the other person抯 shoes.
For anything you抮e about to send: ask yourself, 揥ould I say this to the person抯 face? if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. ____37____
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. ____38____ If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
____39____ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it抯 a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it抯 a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn抰 give you license to correct everyone else. ____40____ At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don抰 ask such questions.
A. It抯 natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you抎 feel comfortable saying the words to the person抯 face.
C. Everyone was new to the network once.
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

As is known to us all, smoking may have all kinds of harmful 56 (effect) on the health of both the smokers themselves and non-smokers around them. For example, smoking does terrible damage to smokers’ hearts and lungs and it is more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant.

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus（马戏，马戏团）. Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.” He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say “You got that right”. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded “please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense, so I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea.

Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea .He put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir, this fell out of your pocked.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his and squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill. With his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car.We didn’t go to the circus .When I asked dad why he did so, “My child, it was a heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a hand,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young.” He paused for a while as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others . We didn’t go to the circus tonight,but we didn’t go without.”

People hoping to shrink their waistlines may want to adopt three simple eating habits to help them get there, new research suggests. The study tracked nearly 60,000 people and discovered that how fast they ate and the timing of their evening meal and snacks appeared to be significant factors in whether they ended up obese（肥胖） or managed to lose weight.
Specifically, eating more slowly, avoiding snacks after dinner, and not eating within two hours before going to bed were all linked to weight loss.
The researchers, who published their findings in the journal BMJ Open, said they set out to analyze 搕he effects of changes in lifestyle habits on changes in obesity.
They examined data on thousands of people with diabetes in Japan who submitted claims and had regular health checkups between 2008 and 2013, when measurements of their body mass index（指标） and waist circumference（周长） were taken. During the checkups, the patients also reported their lifestyle habits, including their eating and sleeping patterns, as well as alcohol and tobacco use.
Among other questions, the people were asked to report the speed at which they ate -- categorized as fast, normal, or slow.
At the start of the study, 22,070 people -- nearly a third of the group -- admitted they normally gobbled down their food fast. More than 33,400 said they ate at 搉ormal speed. Only about 4,190 were self-professed slow eaters.
After taking into account other potential factors, the researchers found that those who said they ate at normal speed were 29 percent less likely to be obese than those who said they were fast eaters. The findings for slow eaters were even more striking: those who said they ate slowly were 42 percent less likely to be obese.
People who said they don抰 usually snack after dinner and those who avoiding eating within two hours of bedtime also tended to see some weight loss, the researchers found.
Overall reductions in waist circumference were small, but they were greater among the slow and normal speed eaters in the study.
Other habits the researchers looked at -- including whether people ate or skipped breakfast, and how much sleep they got -- did not appear to have a significant impact on weight.
24. The underlined part 搒hrink their waistlines in Paragraph 1 means_______________.
A. put up weight B. lose weight C. keep fit D. train the waist
25. According to the text, people who eat fast____________
A. probably increase more weight B. probably lose weight
C. probably eat less D. probably eat more
26. Which one is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Normal speed eaters are the mostly likely to be become fat.
B. Not eating anything within two hours of bedtime has little effect on people weight.
C. Whether people eat breakfast doesn抰 ffect people抯 weight at all.
D. How much sleep people get doesn抰 influence people抯 weight greatly.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How fast people eat is linked to weight loss B. Three Habits linked to weight loss
C. The cause of obesity D. How to lose weight
C
It is the golden decade,the time in your life when you are carefree and at your happiest.Never again will you enjoy the freedom and thrills of your 20s.A new study has now confirmed the fears of anyone approaching middle-age-people's 20s are their happiest years.
But,while researchers warn of lower life satisfaction for 40 years,there is hope.Their findings show that life does get better at 65,with happiness levels rising.Dr Ioana Ramia,from the University of New South Wales in Australia,said,"Satisfaction over life decreases from the early 20s,plateaus for about 40 years and then increases from about 65 up."
The aim of the research was to help develop policy to target specific age groups.Dr Ramia and her team found that happiness follows a U-curve with the highest levels experienced by those aged 15 to 24 and over 75.
Dr Ramia said,couples reported greatest satisfaction at life just before having their first child and a decrease from the child's first year of life through to when the child reaches six years old and starts school.She said,"It then stays low,but increases slightly,and is the highest around the age of 80.So that's something to look forward to."Her team's research shows a strong connection between the middle-age happiness state and employment opportunities and financial situations,when"money and...jobs matter most".
There was a greater emphasis on the quality of housing itself into middle age and beyond,along with neighborhood and community."At this time happiness is at its lowest and it only starts to increase when people start focusing on other things,like their free time,"said Dr Ramia.Safety was an important aspect of life satisfaction in every age group,while health appeared twice-in the mid-30s with the first awareness of physical fallibility or illness,and again later in life,she said.
Though her research had shed some light onto the drivers of happiness,Dr Ramia said the peak at young and old age remained poorly understood,with question marks around how satisfaction could remain constant across the major parameters described yet manage to increase with age overall. Defining what"satisfaction"was and how it was rated by subjects was also a challenge for future research,she said.
28. The early 20s are thought to be the happiest years possibly because people
A. enjoy their school life very much then
B. can enjoy more freedom during that period
C. usually have lots of friends in those years.
D. are going to have their own family in their life
29. The underlined word"plateaus"in Paragraph 2 probably means"__________
A. keeps a relatively stable level B. keeps changing
C. reaches a very low level D. turns more complex
30. Paragraphs 4-5 mainly focus on
A. the factors influencing people's satisfaction at life
B. the differences between the young and the old
C. the reasons why happiness follows a U-curve
D. the matters concerning the middle-aged group
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. We still have a poor understanding on the old.
B. The drivers of happiness need further research.
C. It's still a challenge to remain happy in our life.
D. People are hard to be satisfied because of their age.
D
We already know that a lack of sleep will actually prevent your brain from being able to make new memories. You end up feeling as though you抮e amnesiac.
A lack of sleep will lead to an increased development of a protein in the brain connected with Alzheimer抯 disease because it is during deep sleep at night that a system within the brain starts to wash away this protein. So if you抮e not getting enough sleep each and every night, more of that Alzheimer抯-related protein will build up. The more protein that builds up, the greater your risk of developing Alzheimer will be in later life.
What are the effects of the lack of sleep on the body? We know that a lack of sleep impacts your immune system(免疫系统).After just one night of four to five hours of sleep, there is a 70%reduction in immune cells called natural killer cells. And that’s the reason that short sleep predicts your risk for developing many forms of cancer.
In fact, the link between a lack of sleep and cancer is now so strong that recently the World Health Organization decided to classify any form of nighttime shift work as a probable cause of cancer. It is during deep sleep at night that your heart rate drops, your blood pressure goes down. If you抮e not getting enough sleep, your blood pressure rises. If you抮e getting six hours of sleep or less, you抣l have a 200%increased risk of having a deadly heart attack or stroke in your lifetime.
There is a global experiment that is performed on 1.6 billion people twice a year and it抯 called daylight savings time. And we know that in the spring, when we lose one hour of sleep, we see a 24%increase in heart attacks the following day.
Another question, perhaps, is what is the recycle rate of a human being? How long can we actually last without sleep before we start to see worsening in your brain function? And the answer seems to be about 16 hours of wakefulness. Once you get past 16 hours of being awake, that抯 when we start to see mental and physical damages in the body. We know that after you’ve been awake for 19 or 20 hours, your mental capacity(心智能力)is so damaged that you would be as slow as someone who was drunk. So if you were to ask me what is the recycle rate of a human being, it does seem to be about 16 hours and we need about eight hours of sleep to repair the damage of wakefulness.
32. The underlined word 揳mnesiac in Paragraph 1 probably means
A. sleepy B. tolerant C. relieved D. forgetful
33. According to the article, we can infer that_
A. the more you sleep, the more protein there will be
B. you抮e more likely to suffer heart attacks in the spring
C. deep sleep at night protects you from a harmful protein
D. you抣l develop many forms of cancer due to short sleep
34. When you抮e awake over 16 hours, .
A. your brain won抰 function in a proper way B. your brain needs at least 8 hours to recover
C. you must have drunk large amounts of wine D. you walk as slowly as the physically disabled
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Sleeping sickness kills B. Enough sleep counts
C. Less sleep causes cancer D. Sleep is necessary for man

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. ____36____ Imagine how you抎 feel if you were in the other person抯 shoes.
For anything you抮e about to send: ask yourself, 揥ould I say this to the person抯 face? if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. ____37____
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. ____38____ If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
____39____ Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it抯 a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it抯 a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn抰 give you license to correct everyone else. ____40____ At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don抰 ask such questions.

As is known to us all, smoking may have all kinds of harmful 56 (effect) on the health of both the smokers themselves and non-smokers around them. For example, smoking does terrible damage to smokers’ hearts and lungs and it is more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant.

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus（马戏，马戏团）. Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight in shining armor.” He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say “You got that right”. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded “please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense, so I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.

Paragraph 1
Seeing what was going on, my dad seemed to have an idea .He put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir, this fell out of your pocked.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his and squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill. With his lip shaking and a tear running down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”
Paragraph 2
That day my father and I went back to our car.We didn’t go to the circus .When I asked dad why he did so, “My child, it was a heartbreaking and embarrassing situation for a father. Surely he wasn’t begging for a hand,but he reminded me of my father,when I was young.” He paused for a while as if wandering in his memory. “We should appreciate what we have obtained from life and seize every opportunity to help others . We didn’t go to the circus tonight,but we didn’t go without.”
